Là-bas
Jean-Jacques Goldman
Over there
Over there
Everything is new and everything is wild
Free continent without fences
Here, our dreams are narrow
That's why I'll go there
Over there
It takes heart and it takes courage
But everything is possible at my age
If you have the strength and faith
Gold is within your reach
That's why I'll go there
Don't go
There are storms and shipwrecks
Fire, devils, and mirages
I know you're fragile sometimes
Stay close to me
We have so much love to give
So much happiness to come
I want you as husband and father
And you dream of leaving
Here, everything is predetermined
And we can't change anything
It all depends on your birth
And I was not born well
Over there
Far from our lives, our villages
I'll forget your voice, your face
Even though I hold you in my arms
You're already slipping away, over there
I'll have my chance, I'll have my rights
Don't go
And the pride that I don't have here
Over there
Everything you deserve is yours
Don't go
Here, others impose their law
Over there
I might lose you over there
Don't go
But I lose myself if I stay here
Over there
Life didn't give me a choice
Don't go
You and me, it will be there or not
Over there
Everything is new and everything is wild
Don't go
Free continent without fences
Over there
Beautiful like we can't imagine
Don't go
Here, even our dreams are narrow
Over there
That's why I'll go there
Don't go
I wasn't given a choice
Over there
I lose myself if I stay here
Don't go
That's why I'll go there
